The abrupt cancellation of streaming service FilmStruck, which hosts countless classic movies from all over the planet, sickened me for a whole horde of reasons. At least I wasn't the only film geek to be crestfallen by the departure of FilmStruck, in fact, my disappointment was shared with a whole bunch of iconic filmmakers like Christopher Nolan, Rian Johnson and Guillermo del Toro who, along with many other directors, signed a petition calling for FilmStruck to be saved and sent it directly to Toby Emmerich, head of Warner Bros. Pictures (which is part of the WarnerMedia family that FilmStruck belongs to).
